Overview
From the salt flats of the Andes to the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji, discover 14 of the world’s most spectacular mountains and mountain ranges, and the animals and plants that live in them. The chapters cover four different types of mountains: plateaus, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and tepuis, with a selection of both famous and less-well known places within each. Every mountain or range is explored in detail, with intriguing information about its geography and flora and fauna, alongside detailed photography and beautiful illustrations. Marvel at the Great Aletsch Glacier flowing down the Alps, mountain goats scrambling across cliff faces in the Rockies, and the tiny saltwort flowers that bloom 20,000 feet up in the Himalayas. As well as the wonders of these remote areas, the threats facing mountains and their species are also investigated.
Habitat: Mountains will be treasured for years to come. With foil on the cover and colorful sprayed edges, this book makes the perfect gift for any child with a passion for the natural world.
